Therapists in Woodland Park, CO

As a counselor, I seek to create an environment where people feel safe, heard, valued, and honored. My style is very relational, collaborative, encouraging, and empowering using evidence-based models of therapeutic care. I feel that people can bring their frustrations, anger, fears, sadness, anxiety, ambivalence, and dissatisfaction into the counseling process. Throughout my 25 year career, I have been so fortunate to walk thousands of people through painful circumstances to experience necessary hope and healing in life.

I help clients that are struggling with addiction, trauma and symptoms of trauma, relationship issues, men's issues, anxiety, depression, and self-esteem. There can be a variety of reasons to make a change and that change can only happen when we recognize that we want to improve our life. Generally people that are successful in accomplishing their goals are motivated to participate in the process and tend to view therapy as a supportive piece of that journey. There are no quick solutions to making a change, but if you choose to work with me, you will begin to see your life transform and I will be beside you along the way.

Hi, I'm Kaley! I specialize in adolescent, individual, and couples therapy. Much of my work focuses around empowering people to flourish throughout the process, especially those facing various chronic illnesses. Using a relational approach, I can provide a tailored therapeutic approach for individuals and couples going through life's challenges. My education and experience gives me the tools to support the emotional connection and improve the attachment bond within your relationships.

Have you been searching for more meaning, purpose, and clarity for your life? The existential issues of life can be challenging to navigate, especially on your own. At times, our past can get in the way of living in the present and experiencing hope for the future. I'm here to support you on your journey and provide you with tools to help you make lasting change. My passion is helping others learn, grow, and awaken to the reality that change is possible.

Finding peace in a complex world often involves seeking answers to sensitive and sometimes distressing questions. Unexpected loss, childhood traumas, and relationship distress lead to distress and disconnection from others. My therapeutic work is attachment-based and trauma informed to foster kindness, compassion, and respect for the whole person (mind, body, and spirit). I work with individuals, teens, and couples. I have advanced training in infidelity and affair recovery for couples, betrayal trauma, and partner recovery, as well as the use of EMDR with complex trauma. Additionally I am a Level 3 Gottman Method Therapist.

Have you just been feeling every kind of ‘stuck’ these days — be it in your relationships , and/or, within yourself internally lately? Longing to feel for the first time or, to come back to that fruitful, energizing, and wholesome place we feel when we experience total emotional security? Do you long to reconnect with yourself or a loved one again but feel a guard or emotional block within your dynamic that, try as you might just feels like a continual cycle of the same communication barriers, misinterpretations and inaccurate assumptions from one another each time you attempt to repair or have your side feel seen/heard?

Whether you’re a person struggling to meet your full potential, a parent hoping to see your child thrive, or a family working to repair broken relationships, good therapy can result in growth and lasting change. It takes courage to be willing to honestly look at ourselves. It takes a safe, open and non-judgmental space, as well as an experienced therapist to make that work possible. As a licensed professional counselor this is the work I do. My approach is open and straightforward. I use scientifically-based methods, years of experience and customized techniques, to match your specific needs.

As a certified sex and relationship therapist, I find many people have difficulty talking about sex and often define themselves by the sexual challenges they live with. Instead of seeing sexual differences as negative or bad, what if we can redefine them to focus on our ability to feel pleasure during our sexual experiences? Sex is often not “safe” for people in emotional or physical pain. Some people develop a fear of engaging in sex; others avoid even talking about sex. When leaning into fear and avoidance, they give up on pleasure and sexuality.

Sometimes our inner world seems chaotic and stressful. Sometimes we feel like we are going through life surrounded by a fog and can’t see a way out. Sometimes we experience something so significant that our life is turned upside down and we have a hard time coping. Regardless of what you are experiencing right now, it does not reflect anything about your worth and you do not have to navigate it alone. My goal as a therapist is to provide opportunities for you to work through the challenges of life while reconnecting with your authentic self and embracing your inner-knowing.

Hello! My name is Christine Thorp and I am a LPCC in Colorado. I received my MA degree from Naropa University in Boulder, Colorado and previously graduated with my Bachelors degree at Webster University in St. Louis, Missouri. This education has given me the knowledge and ability to implement different treatment interventions along side traditional therapy. I have worked with individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, and behavioral issues. I have also worked with families experiencing separation, trauma, and attachment disruptions.

Are you frequently anxious, depressed, stressed or feel lost? Are you tired of trying so hard but not getting the results you want and need? Do you feel you are not reaching your potential? I have a 'virtual office' and you can explore your personal or professional challenges from the comfort of your home, office or car! I have over 25 years of training and practical experience to help you, your children and/or your family. I use a gentle (and even fun) approach to coaching and therapy that feels easier for most people to deal with than traditional therapy. My clients do better when they know better! I can be that guide for you.

Challenges are essential to growth. We all face challenges. The various challenges, crises, traumas we all inevitably encounter can create anxiety, depression, and disconnection. Unfortunately, labels and diagnoses can stop you from seeing that you are okay. As you are. Your felt experiences of hurt, when processed deeply, actually lead to self-discovery. Seeking help doesn’t mean that anything is necessarily wrong. In fact, expertise can guide you through these moments safely. Through somatic healing therapy, individuals and couples will find inner strength to start anew.

Lasting growth and transformation occur when we gently and courageously explore our own psyches. Through this process, we offer love to the parts of us that have been wounded, we uncover our limiting beliefs, and we learn to listen to our inner knowing. We are often run by our unconscious mind, allowing fear, trauma, and social conditioning to direct our thoughts and behavior. My role as therapist is to create a safe space for you to explore what is beneath the surface. Together, we'll help you develop greater self-awareness and self-connection, which leads to greater self-love, compassion and trust in yourself.

Have you ever desired change but felt stuck in a personal situation, experienced difficulty in a relationship, or struggled with maintaining the motivation to change behaviors over time? Almost all of us have experienced these feelings at one time or another and it is my belief that therapy can be a positive resource to generate change, growth, and forward movement in your life. We are all greatly impacted by the various relationships we have with those in our lives, and with our own experiences thus far. Therapy can offer the insight and tools to navigate the complexities of those relationships and improve your overall wellbeing.

I specialize in helping people heal from trauma. I offer a somatic and attachment-focused approach to aid people on their journey of health, healing and well-being. I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor, Addictions Counselor, and offer clinical supervision to new counselors. I have worked as a Clinical Supervisor at the Naropa Community Counseling Center, as a crisis counselor, and as adjunct faculty at Naropa University. I also have several years of experience providing individual and group therapy at a substance abuse outpatient center.

Has traditional talk therapy not felt like "enough"? Do you find it difficult to put words together to describe your experiences? Have you found yourself stuck in patterns, situations, or relationships? The teens, couples, & adults that we see often struggle with managing difficult emotions, anxiety, dissociation, depression, and grief. They have often experienced painful things in the past that they have buried. We help your brain process these things and heal. One of the biggest benefits of therapy is having a safe place to share how you are really doing & feeling. A place to explore thoughts & feelings using clay, art, & horses.
